How American Snobocracy Can Keep Itseli
Posted Concerning Titled Foreigners.
American society is to have its long
felt and never-satisfied want taken care
of by company which has just been
incorporated. The title of this humane
organization is, "The International So
ciaI Lion Furnishing Company, Linn
tied" The object of the concern. as
set forth in its prospectus, is to supply
American social circles with British
lions. whose history shall be known.
The company guarantees that each per-
son is a real, live nobleman, and, in
order that there can be no possible mis-
take, produces his entire personal his
! tory.
The company has branch Office in
London, and it is there that its chief
work is done. A large force of expert
detectives and searchers is employed,
and it is their business to look up the
record of every scion of the British no
bility. When a detective has thorough
ly sifted the facts, he reports them at
the main Office, where they are written
up by the clerks and filed away for fu-
ture reference.
The Office in this city is furnished
with copies of these records for exhibit
ton to mothers who are in search of
English aristocrats as husbands for
their daughters, and to all persons who
wish to bask in the sunshine of titled
smiles.
OF course, the advantages of such a
concern are apparent to the most care
less observer. The personal history of
a man is guarantee of his character
and social standing, and, armed with
such documents, Americans can invite
English noblemen to their houses with
out any danger of being imposed upon
by sham Dukes or Lords. The new
company has already gone into opera
ton, and we feel that we are only doing
our duty in informing the public of its
existence. Some of the papers on file
in the safes of the corporation are ex-
tremely well gotten up, and we take
pleasure in submitting some of them as
examples of the admirable manner in
which the work is done.
